Mail Box find help identify

[RobKruzan]

I found this in the mail box today with 2 other arrowheads for 5 bucks in my opinion it was a steel only problem is I dont know what type it is all I know is its from ohio and black and grey pics don't do it any justice.

Rob, That's a tricky one, its got me stumped. I hope some one chimes in, cause its got me curious. John

I'm not sure, I'd call it a beveled archaic corner notched? I've never seen a Greenbrier made of that material, but I'm no expert , heck of a deal for less than $5, if it's authentic.

Found this over ten years ago. I had a guy look it up
in one of his books, scholastic one I think, at a csas show.
Mine was associated with the Ohio River or Wabash River
system. Since I found it on the Tippecanoe River and it
connects with them. Don't remember the name, but yours
kinda resembles this. I'm thinking Woodland Era and it's
about 3.5 inches long.

It's Coshocton flint, and is probably a hopewell point that has had some abuse to the notches. Maybe not a hopewell, not sure. Here's one I found that looks a little like it.

Thanks guys,
it is definetly authentic its a no brainer when its in your hands.

Here is a photo from Lar Hothem book which is why i thought it was a greenbriar.

Looks beveled to me and it has that sheen. I say Greenbriar and I'll give you $10 for it.

[Th3rty7]

Hope you dont mind me asking, and I understand if you dont want to say, but, where did you buy that quality point for less than 5 dollars?

[RobKruzan]

I dont have any problems answering that I got the point with 3 other 2 other arrowheads at an online auction on ebay the pic the seller had was poor and all that could be seen is basicly a shadow of the blade looked pure black so I took a chance on it and thats the story on that I have aquired a few nice pieces taking chances on bad pics and once got a nice polished hardstone celt for 15 doing so ended up retaking a pic of it a selling it for 60.I find most of my deals in the middle of the week when the bidding is slow.

[RobKruzan]

point came with 2 other points not 3 here is the other 2 and also the last pic is the pic that seller used for auction.

[RobKruzan]

also after going back to the auction i saw that I actualy paid 13.00 but still im happy with the buy.
